History
Clinique Cecil was originally a hotel, built between 1905 and 1907 by architect Charles Melley. In 1931, the hotel was refurbished as a clinic by Georges Espitaux.[5][6] In 1923, Soviet envoy Vatslav Vorovsky was assassinated by expat Maurice Conradi in the busy hotel restaurant, and his subsequent trial became an international sensation.[7] In 1972, the clinic was bought by the American Medical International group. In 1990, the Hirslanden Private Hospital Group bought Clinique Cecil.[6]
In 2012, following a strategic realignment, Pierre-Frédéric Guex left office after 17 years of service.[8] He was replaced by Philipp Teubner who resigned in June 2015.[9] Today, the clinic is directed by Jean-Claude Chatelain.[10]
